Vietnamese lingerie model Ngoc Trinh faces up to 7 years in jail

The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Procuracy has completed an indictment against Tran Thi Ngoc Trinh, well known as Ngoc Trinh, a 34-year-old Vietnamese lingerie model, for allegedly causing social disorder with a potential punishment of imprisonment of two to seven years. Ngoc Trinh, dubbed an ‘underwear queen,’ was found to have no special license that would allow her to legally ride a motorcycle with an engine over 175cc. On October 6, 2023, she and Dong rode a motorcycle with a cylinder capacity of 999cc on D15 Road in the Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Thu Duc City. While riding her motorcycle, Ngoc Trinh put both legs to one side of the vehicle, knelt on the saddle, and let go of both hands. After investigators started verifying the number plate of a motorcycle that both previously rode, Dong showed fake vehicle registration documents.
